Karen Rodriguez has appeared on a handful of popular shows, but in just a few years, she's found herself right smack in the middle of two of the biggest hits as a series regular. First came Netflix's The Hunting Wives, the series adaptation of May Cobb's hugely popular novel. Whereas headliners like Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman are leaning into the extremes of the characters' situation — and to great effect — Rodriguez tackles the task of serving as the show's grounded heart, Deputy Wanda Salazar. Rodriguez made such a big impression doing that that she was made a series regular for the second season, which is due out in the fall.While you wait for more Hunting Wives, you can catch Rodriguez in one of the most highly anticipated new superhero projects of 2026, Prime Video's Spider-Noir. Rodriguez stars opposite Nicolas Cage's Ben Reilly as Janet Ruiz, his trusty secretary and fellow investigator. Ben may be the one with the superpowers, fighting crime in New York City as The Spider, but it's Janet's intuition that helps them connect with clients, often sparking the groundbreaking level of understanding needed to crack a case.With all eight episodes of Spider-Noir now available to stream on Prime Video, in Black & White and also True-Hue color, Rodriguez visited the Collider Ladies Night studio to revisit her journey to Netflix, discuss what it was like scoring her very first series regular role in Spider-Noir, and to dig into how Janet is Reilly Investigations secret weapon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In today's episode, our hosts Tracey and Scott will explore Nicolas Cage's appearances in the Marvel-verse with their coverage of the recent Amazon Prime Video series Spider-Noir, as well as take a look back at 2007's Ghost Rider film.

Well join me today as I review the novella written by Marco Manone as we encounter strange happenings in the mansion. I enjoyed reading this novella.

The 1990s gave us meta-slashers, satanic spaceships, exploding hookers, body-swapping action heroes, teenage witches and enough Nicolas Cage insanity to sustain an entire decade. Griffey, Heath, Sam, Sophia and Nick battle to assemble the ultimate team of messed up movies from the '90s. Scream, Event Horizon, Frankenhooker, The Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, The Craft, Candyman, Face/Off, 12 Monkeys and Hocus Pocus are only the beginning. Was the '90s actually an underrated horror decade? Is Event Horizon secretly a Warhammer movie? Does Hocus Pocus belong beside Fight Club? And which combatant walks away with the strongest four-film lineup? Watch the episode, examine the evidence and tell us who won the draft in the comments.

Apple heeft een erg goed kwartaal achter de rug. De omzet steeg flink, naar meer 109 miljard dollar. Dat is beter dan waarop was gerekend. Het waren vooral de iPhones die het ‘m deden. De helft van de omzet komt van de telefoons. En ook de winst (net geen 30 miljard) zag er perfect uit. Al met al mooie cijfers voor afzwaaiend topman Tim Cook. Alleen wordt zijn laatste optreden overschaduwd door een pijnlijke waarschuwing. Hij verwacht namelijk dat de chiptekorten de omzet én winst gaan raken. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die tegenvaller. Beleggers reageren heftig op het nieuws, wij zoeken uit of die reactie terecht is. Beter gaat het bij Amazon. Dat aandeel schiet omhoog. Beleggers reageren helemaal happy op de resultaten én de investeringsplannen van de techreus. Ook Amazon blijft als een malle geld in AI investeren. 220 miljard dollar dit jaar, weer 20 miljard dan eerder begroot. Alleen afgelopen kwartaal gaf het al 53 miljard uit aan nieuwe datacenters.

This week, acclaimed writers Daniel Kraus and Susan Orlean discuss the process of adapting books into film and television, as well as their latest releases. Kraus—who won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for his novel Angel Down—developed the story for the film The Shape of Water and co-wrote the novel with Guillermo del Toro. Kraus also recently adapted his hit novel Whalefall into a feature film coming out this October from 20th Century Fox. Orlean—whose book The Orchid Thief lead to the creation of the film Adaptation—is currently at work adapting her bestselling nonfiction book The Library Book for television. This program was part of the 2026 American Writers Festival. Co-hosted by the American Writers Museum and Chicago Public Library, the American Writers Festival is a free literary event featuring in-depth conversations with diverse writers from across genres and backgrounds. This conversation took place June 7th, 2026 and was recorded live at the Harold Washington Library Center. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HUB About the speakers: DANIEL KRAUS is a New York Times bestselling writer of novels, TV, and film. His latest novel, Angel Down, won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction and was a New York Times Top 10 Book of 2025. His novel Whalefall won the Alex Award, was a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist, and was named a Best Book of 2023 by NPR, The New York Times, Amazon, Chicago Tribune, and more. With Guillermo del Toro, he cowrote The Shape of Water, based on the same idea the two created for the Oscar-winning film. SUSAN ORLEAN is the author of nine books, including The Bullfighter Checks Her Makeup; My Kind of Place; Saturday Night; and On Animals. In 1999, she published The Orchid Thief, a narrative about orchid poachers in Florida, which was made into the Academy Award-winning film Adaptation starring Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep. Her book, Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend won the Ohioana Book Award and the Richard Wall Memorial Award. In 2018, she published The Library Book, about the arson fire at the Los Angeles Public Library. It won the California Book Award and the Marfield Prize and was longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal. It is being adapted for television. Her memoir, Joyride, was published in October 2025. Orlean has been a staff writer for the New Yorker since 1992, and has also contributed to Vogue, Rolling Stone, Outside, and Esquire. She has written about taxidermy, umbrellas, origami, chickens, and a wide range of other subjects. She was a 2003 Nieman Fellow at Harvard University and a 2014 Guggenheim Fellow. She lives with her husband and son in Los Angeles.
Welcome to the episode where we openly acknowledge that this isn't, by definition, a Nicolas Cage campaign, but then speak at length about Nicolas Cage anyway. Minni Tarr tries to break out of his father's labyrinth. Pessimism tries to step out of Pain and Panic's shadows. The Declaration of Independence comes to life, puts on a robot suit with bear arms, and somehow becomes a vampire. • • • Patreon: patreon.com/improvtabletop Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / TikTok: @ImprovTabletop Email: ImprovTabletop@gmail.com Donations: ko-fi.com/improvtabletop • • • Audio Credits Improv Tabletop's theme song is “Melodic Marauder”, written by Scott Villanueva, and performed by Scott Villanueva and Ned Wilcock.

We're continuing our journey through Nicolas Cage's recent filmography by talking about The Surfer, which premiered at Cannes! After talking about how critics loved it (but fans didn't), we share our favorite details and moments, like: it's an Australian Christmas movie... it's the summer! We heap praise on both Nicolas Cage and Julian McMahon's performances, and talk about how it feels like this is a return to a Vampire's Kiss-esque character for Cage. So much feels like a dream... but isn't... and we talk about what that does for the movie. Joey praises it for being a really tight film with such clear wants and needs, Mike compares this surf crew to the one in Point Break, and we both talk about the rat being an item in old point-and-click PC adventure games. We look ahead to The Carpenter's Son and talk about showing off Cage's lesser-known films. Joey shares the level of artistic impact he has achieved on behalf of #CageClub.
We're down a host this week, but we threw in an extra movie to make it up to you. John's in the mood for offbeat indie comedies with A Different Man (2024), Aaron Schimberg's dark exploration of identity and disability, and I Love Boosters (2026), Boots Riley's surreal exposé of capitalism in the fashion industry. Dixon's skewing more mainstream with Toy Story 1-4 (1995-2019), and the Nicolas Cage Marvel television show Spider-Noir (2026).
Michael KostroffTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Michael Kostroff. Michael has been a working actor for several decades and is well known for several roles. In this episode, we chat about some of those roles, some of those shows, and he shares experiences from them. We talk about his breakout role on 'The Wire', his stints as Max Bialystok in SEVEN separate touring productions of the smash hit 'The Producers', and some of his other prominent roles. Aat the time we recorded this episode; Michael was toward the end of his run on 'Dog Day Afternoon' on Broadway. Michael was kind enough to actually record this during his Broadway debut! We do a bit of a deep dive into Michael's career; both before he became a household face, and after. He was a writer at Disneyland, which was a thing I didn't even know existed. I ask him questions about working on 'Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip', and what it is like to work on an Aaron Sorkin project. He shares stories from the set of 'The Blacklist' and getting to work with his pal Deirdre Lovejoy again, singing the theme song for a television show, and doing yet another job I didn't know existed; but this time for Tony Bennett. Then we jump into Michael's role as the mayor of New York and working with Nicolas Cage on 'Spider Noir'. Of course, I ask him about fulfilling his life-long dream of performing on Broadway, and what it is like being part of 'Dog Day Afternoon'. Then we discuss his various books. Michael Kostroff has written 4 books so far, and we get into a couple of them. Michael teaches a workshop that helps actors get out of their own heads when doing auditions, it's called 'Audition Psych 101'. He also wrote a book by the same name and there is an audio version as well. We have a pretty in-depth discussion around this topic and his need to share what he has learned along the way. This is a fun and wild ride that goes all over the place. Michael even talks about that one time where he was the driver on the campaign for a person who went on to become The President of the United States of America! Follow Michael everywhere, buy the books, watch the shows, take the workshop. You will be better for it!
OpenAI says an internal cyber-capability evaluation crossed the boundary it was supposed to stay inside and compromised Hugging Face infrastructure. We break down how the agent moved between systems, why the containment failure matters, and why it felt less like a benchmark and more like the opening scene of a science-fiction movie.Alphabet posted Q2 revenue of $119.8 billion, but the quarter also produced negative $5.9 billion in free cash flow after $44.9 billion in capital spending. The debate is no longer whether AI demand exists; it is how long the infrastructure payback takes when even Google can spend more cash than it generates in a quarter.That leads into the wider AI buildout: off-balance-sheet financing, power and construction bottlenecks, depreciating GPUs, and whether data centers will leave behind infrastructure as durable as railroads and telecommunications. Presearch also announced that it was shutting down, turning one abstract industry conversation into an immediate business question.Crypto was supposed to replace the banking system. Now BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and other institutions have accumulated the assets, and the market increasingly resembles the financial system it once rejected.Marvel used Comic-Con to announce Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider and David Jonsson as the new Black Panther. The conversation immediately becomes a test of whether anyone can keep Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, Nicolas Cage, Deadpool, and Ghost Rider straight.Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey earned $87 million in its second domestic weekend and reached approximately $639.6 million worldwide. Premium formats and IMAX are central to the release, which makes watching it later through TikTok clips the most disrespectful possible viewing plan.Warner Bros. Discovery sued Amazon MGM Studios over the hiring of HBO Max marketing executive Pia Barlow, alleging interference with employment agreements. Apple is also reportedly targeting a 2027 consumer release for smart glasses, reopening the argument over privacy, ownership, and whether a company should be able to disable hardware you bought.Before the headlines, we talk about the wedding that reopened the family question, the dorm assignment that made Ricker and Bon possible, dating at 20 versus 30, and the very genuine monotone.If you want a prize, send us a DM:instagram.com/rickerandbontiktok.com/@rickerandbonyoutube.com/@rickerandbon

How do you go from voicing a beaver in a sleep med commercial to portraying TV's most amoral attorney on its most iconic crime drama?! For actor, author, and teacher Michael Kostroff, the answer is: embrace the unexpected.Best known as cunning defense lawyer Maurice Levy on HBO's The Wire, Michael joins Weezy this week to reflect on a career that has taken him from television dramas and Broadway musicals to films, teen comedies, sitcoms and commercials.You will currently find him on the MGM+/Prime Marvel superhero series (available in both color and black & white!) Spider-Noir with Nicolas Cage, as New York City's mayor and he's also just wrapped up his first Broadway run as the bank manager in Dog Day Afternoon.Along the way, he shares behind-the-scenes stories from the national tour of The Producers (where lightning-fast costume changes and a grueling schedule collided with back and forth flights to film The Wire). Michael's career then took him to The Plot Against America, The Wizard of Lies (with Robert De Niro!) and The Blacklist.Michael shares his thoughts on The Wire's rarified role as a television landmark, why its richly layered characters continue to resonate, and whether he minds being typecast. He also talks about his four books, including Letters from Backstage, which grew out of emails that unexpectedly found a massive audience, and The Stage Actor's Handbook, born from his desire to provide aspiring actors with the practical guidance missing from their theater education. Michael opens up about the life-saving community he found in theater and the salve it offered for his unhappy childhood. We peek at his viral apartment tour video, revealing the unglamorous truth behind the doors of a working actor. We get schooled on the perils of backstage "showmances," and we learn why, after decades of surprising turns, he's still excited to see where the next one leads.This is a warm, funny, and inspiring conversation with an actor whose career proves that the most rewarding paths are often the least predictable.In current media-- Weezy: The American Experiment and Little House on the Prairie on NetflixProducer Dina: AMC/AMC+ Series Dark Winds, streaming on NetflixPath Points of Interest:Michael KostroffMichael Kostroff on WikipediaMichael Kostroff on IMDBMichael Kostroff on InstagramMichael Kostroff on FacebookMichael Kostroff on YoutubeApartment TourBooks by Michael KostroffThe Stage Actor's Handbook: Traditions, Protocols, and Etiquette for the Working and Aspiring ProfessionalBy Michael Kostroff and Julie GarnyéLetters From BackstageThe American ExperimentLittle House On The PrairieDark Winds
VX gas. Alcatraz. This week: The Rock (1996) — Nicolas Cage is bringing the chemical warfare, Sean Connery is escaping the inescapable, and we've got Matthew and Dirk from the Accidental Legends podcast joining us to break down the ultimate 90s action masterpiece.

Is Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey a true cinematic masterpiece—or an impressive visual epic that falls just short of Nolan's best work? On this episode of The Next Reel, Tyler Johns and Lance Taylor break down one of the most anticipated movies of 2026: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey After seeing the film twice during its premiere weekend, Tyler shares his complete review of Nolan's ambitious adaptation of Homer's legendary Greek epic. The discussion covers the movie's enormous scale, stunning IMAX cinematography, emotional themes, major performances and the importance of choosing the right theatrical format. Tyler explains why watching The Odyssey outside of a full 70mm presentation can affect the film's aspect ratio, visual impact and overall sense of immersion. They also discuss Matt Damon's performance as Odysseus, including how he handles the character's guilt, shame, exhaustion and helplessness throughout the journey. Tyler also highlights Jon Bernthal's performance as Menelaus, praising Bernthal for stepping outside the aggressive, hot-headed roles audiences often associate with him. While many early viewers have called The Odyssey a masterpiece, Tyler offers a more measured reaction. He considers the film a powerful visual spectacle and gives it 4 out of 5 stars, but does not rank it among Christopher Nolan's very best movies. The review also examines several creative decisions made in adapting Homer's original story, including notable pieces of dialogue and mythology that were changed, shortened or removed. Did Nolan's version capture everything that makes the original epic so memorable? Should audiences prioritize seeing it in IMAX, or could waiting for the digital and streaming release provide a more complete visual experience? Before getting into The Odyssey, Lance recaps a scorching weekend trip to New Orleans that unexpectedly became a New Orleans-themed movie marathon. That includes Nicolas Cage's bizarre and completely over-the-top performance in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, along with a viewing of the 1975 Paul Newman thriller The Drowning Pool. Then, Tyler and Lance take a trip through movie history as they reveal their personal *op five nostalgic summer movies. These are not simply the biggest blockbusters or the most critically acclaimed summer releases. They are the movies connected to unforgettable theater experiences, childhood friendships, family memories, music, vacations and specific moments from their younger years. Which films made their lists? Which summer classics still hold up decades later? Which movie memories are about more than just the movie itself? Watch the full episode to hear both countdowns and see which selections earn the number-one spots. Let us know in the comments: What did you think of Christopher Nolan's *The Odyssey*? Is it one of Nolan's best movies? Should moviegoers see it in 70mm IMAX? What are the five summer movies that bring back the strongest memories for you?

This week, the Pop Culture Historians light their skulls on fire with 2007's GHOST RIDER! Our first Nicolas Cage movie for this podcast has it all. Death-defying stunts! Peter Fonda and Sam Elliot! Donal Logue! Nick Cage watching weird monkey movies! If only this movie were good.
Sergio Pérez repasa los estrenos en plataformas con títulos como The Surfer con Nicolas Cage o el escritor que contrató a un doble.
Cooper and Nolan are getting back in the cage this week when they take a trip to WILLY'S WONDERLAND! This hybrid horror/comedy saw its chance for a theatrical release thwarted by COVID, leaving Nicolas Cage fans to wonder what might have been. But that's just one of the many unanswered questions about this movie, and the guys spend an hour basically playing whack-a-mole trying to figure them all out. Why doesn't Nic Cage's character talk? How come the murderous animatronics seem to go on break whenever he does? And how did the filmmakers possibly avoid getting sued by the guys who made Five Nights at Freddy's? Finding out could be fun for the whole family, so get ready to cash in your tickets; this very special SEASON FINALE episode (featuring a beer from the Moersleutel Craft Brewery) is one prize you'll be happy to claim!

David Lynch's Wild at Heart This week we return to a World of Dreams and the Land of Oz through the dark and chaotic eyes of David Lynch (January 20, 1946 - January 16, 2025). A Homage/Love Letter to the classic MGM masterpiece, Lynch's 1990 Wild at Heart is a pulsating cinematic shotgun blast. The story of young lovers breaking parole and crossing the country to find a future that is never clear, Lynch's dark romantic comedy is unlike anything seen before, but inspiring to cinema for decades after. With allusions to Fleming's 1939 Technicolor Classic, as well as nods to Elvis, Americana, and the great tradition of cinematic road trips, Wild at Heart cannot be adequately described, it can only be experienced. This week Mr. Chavez & I describe our relationship to this film (his history with it and my first viewing nearly a decade ago). We discuss our history (and dismissa - minel) of Lynch followed by the embracing of this great American filmmaker (also mine). With particular attention paid to the over the top brilliance of all involved in front of the camera, including: Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Harry Dean Stanton, Isabella Rosellini, J.E. Freeman, Calvin Lockhart, Grace Zabriskie, Crispin Glover, and Willem Dafoe. We are thrilled to dive into a great film from an incredible director. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com. Our Continued Love & Thanks.

Sign Up for STARZ https://tr.ee/STARZSHINERIt's another Horror Movie Reaction as Summer Slash 8 continues with the gloriously bizarre cult classic Blue Monkey (1987)—the Canadian creature feature that somehow contains zero monkeys and one giant mutant insect terrorizing a quarantined hospital.Johnny Spoiler breaks down what works, what doesn't, the surprisingly creative creature effects, the misleading title, and whether this forgotten B-movie deserves a second chance... or should stay quarantined forever.Also in this episode: Resident Evil is getting another reboot that's finally embracing survival horror. Lily James stars in Seasons, a creepy new horror film based on the viral Reddit story about a haunted ranch with terrifying seasonal rituals. Dario Argento returns with what could be the bloodiest movie of his legendary career. We revisit horror classics like Suspiria, Deep Red, and Demons. Plus, Johnny shares his thoughts on Good Fortune starring Keanu Reeves, compares his lovable rookie angel to Nicolas Cage's unforgettable performance in City of Angels, and explains why one angel wants to become human while the other has no idea how humans actually work.And before all of that, Johnny opens with a personal reflection on the famous phrase "The Show Must Go On"—from its circus origins to Freddie Mercury's legendary final recordings—and why that motto still matters today. Movie of the Week: Blue Monkey (1987) Horror Movie Reaction Johnny Spoiler Reviews Summer Slash 8 Binge Now, Binge Later, or Binge Never?Next week: Road Games (1981) keeps Summer Slash rolling.If you love horror movies, cult classics, creature features, streaming recommendations, and honest movie reactions, subscribe and join the Binge-Watchers community.#JohnnySpoiler #HorrorMovieReaction #BlueMonkey #CultMovies #HorrorMovies #MovieReview #CreatureFeature #BingeWatchersPodcast #ResidentEvil #DarioArgento #GoodFortune #SummerSlash #MoviePodcast #HorrorPodcast #KeanuReeves #NicolasCage
We've entered the home stretch of Spider-Noir! Today's episode is about "Nobody's Hero," the seventh in the season and the first of Greg Yaitanes's two episodes. We talk about how quickly the episode sets up its stakes (good!), has a bunch of fun stuff in the middle (great!), but ends in a strange place (not great!). We lament the lack of cumulative buildup and discuss some different ways this could have been fixed and try to connect the style of this show's creation to the way comics are written. Drunk Spider! Fighting Tombstone! There's so much to love, and we give "Nobody's Hero" its praises. Joey shares some details from the New York Times hour-long video interview, including what television means to Nicolas Cage and what, exactly, he was going for in The Gunslingers. We get a bit existential with the future of properties and the tenuous nature of 2026 media.
Droopy Dog returns to try and clean up his image with a more mellow edition of bad news, "Nicolas Cage" reads some comments left on adult videos and MSPH is under corporate attack.
We're headed to the surreal post-apocalyptic (?) wasteland of Motorama, and Joey has assembled his co-host Avengers, Mike Manzi and Bob (aka Shreds), for help! After Bob talks about how he discovered this movie -- and the (maybe) genius behind it -- we talk about who the movie is for (unclear) and what it's trying to say about the American Dream (also unclear). We discuss its Twin Peaks vibes and dream logic, its long list of cameos and character actors, and our favorite scenes and moments. Mike connects this movie with a legendary Nicolas Cage movie. We discuss modern equivalents of Motorama cards. Email us: family@cageclub.meVisit our Patreon page at patreon.com/2fast2forever.

The Death of Robin Hood is the latest film from writer and director Michael Sarnoski. The film alternates between brutal violence and meditative, almost serene thoughtfulness. Sarnoski joined us to talk about the themes in his latest film and what it was like to shoot on 35 mm on location in Ireland. He also gets into what he learned working with movie stars like Nicolas Cage and Hugh Jackman.

On this episode of The Rizzuto Show, the crew starts with Midwest weather complaints before spiraling into giant backyard mushrooms, haunted furnaces, exploding thermostats, and the realization that owning a home is basically paying to discover new noises every week.Summer chaos is in full swing as the gang debates public pool etiquette, questionable beach water, Fourth of July celebrations, fireworks, and another unforgettable night at Captain Jim's Fireworks—complete with hilarious listener encounters and one brutally honest kid who absolutely roasted Rafe.The nonsense keeps rolling with bizarre news, including an update on internet-famous Michael Phillips, an unbelievably awkward wine-smuggling attempt, and a discussion about what ridiculous items deserve a place in America's 250th anniversary time capsule. Crocs? Stanley Cups? Ring doorbell raccoon videos? Nicolas Cage? Nothing is off the table.Plus, there's plenty of celebrity and entertainment talk, including Dolly Parton's new Tennessee travel stop, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding rumors, Bring Me The Horizon, Ozzy Osbourne memories, Metallica, movie news, and the latest edition of Crap on Celebrities.As if that wasn't enough, the crew dives into Europe's newfound obsession with ranch dressing, secret snack stashes, dirty sodas, early-bird dinners, and another unforgettable E-Memoriam featuring catalytic converter thieves, HVAC headaches, and an action-movie version of Colonel Sanders that nobody asked for—but everyone needed.It's another completely unhinged episode packed with weird news, pop culture, sarcastic commentary, rock music, ridiculous hypotheticals, and friends roasting each other for nearly three hours.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Why Should You Shower Before and After Swimming?These Georgia beaches have elevated levels of fecal bacteriaBest & Worst Places for 4th of July Celebrations (2026)Man with 'world's smallest penis' makes heartbreaking admission about having a micropenisInmate Cops To Smuggling Wine In VaginaMaryland woman upset over Taco Bell wait time allegedly flashed gun, challenged workers to fight outsideNJ man shockingly finds delivery driver's dentures in his Jersey Mike's cheesesteak, bizarre lawsuit claimsDisastrous funeral service ended with mortuary employee sitting on casket that wouldn't closeNaked man arrested on I-85; deputies say mental health treatment is priority after arrestSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
America is celebrating its 250th birthday... and naturally The Rizzuto Show immediately derails the conversation by asking the only question that matters: what ridiculous stuff deserves to survive another 250 years? This daily comedy show goes completely off the rails as the crew debates whether future civilizations need Crocs, Stanley Cups, Ring doorbell raccoon footage, Shake Weights, CVS receipts, a single lost AirPod, Nicolas Cage himself, or maybe just Dolly Parton's legendary wigs.Speaking of Dolly, Lern dives into Dolly Parton's brand-new Tennessee travel stop, complete with BBQ, showers, merch, sparkling guitars, and enough Southern charm to make every interstate exit jealous. The conversation quickly snowballs into which musicians deserve their own themed truck stops around America, leading to debates over Nelly, Chuck Berry, Metallica, KISS, and who really owns Missouri music history.Then it's celebrity chaos as the crew breaks down the latest rumors surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's reported multi-day wedding celebration. Is Madison Square Garden really the right place? Is America being upstaged during its own birthday? And how much New York traffic can one celebrity wedding possibly create?Music fans also get plenty to chew on with Bring Me The Horizon's brutally heavy throwback release, Jason Momoa reflecting on hosting Black Sabbath's farewell celebration, memories from Ozzy Osbourne's final performances, Metallica box sets, Chris Cornell reissues, and new albums worth checking out.The celebrity news doesn't stop there. Chet Hanks hilariously leans into his own reputation in a new commercial, Kylie Jenner faces another lawsuit, Prince William officially joins the billionaire club, and the crew remembers legendary Blood, Sweat & Tears vocalist David Clayton-Thomas while celebrating one of classic rock's greatest voices.Movie fans aren't left out either. The gang reviews early reactions to Supergirl, talks James Gunn's DC universe, discusses the latest Jackass film, and previews some surprising new releases hitting theaters and streaming.As always, Crap on Celebrities wraps things up with birthdays, entertainment headlines, questionable opinions, and the kind of completely unnecessary debates that somehow become the highlight of every episode.If you enjoy pop culture, weird news, rock music, celebrity gossip, and conversations that spiral from national history into Dolly Parton truck stops in record time, this daily comedy show delivers exactly the kind of beautiful nonsense you've come to expect.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day. Whether you're commuting, working, pretending to work, or hiding from your responsibilities, we're happy to provide the soundtrack for your poor life choices.One more thing…If you could put ONE item into America's time capsule that won't be opened until 2276... what would it be?That's the question.And yes, someone absolutely suggested a Big Mac.Because of course they did.This daily comedy show wouldn't have it any other way.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Get your ears ready for Brandi's loud a** yawn! Today Wells and Brandi are tired, slightly unwell, and somehow still managing to have very strong opinions about everything from bandwagon Knicks fans to tacos. Brandi shares the latest chapter in her ongoing health journey, while Wells discovers that foreigners visiting America are absolutely obsessed with our food. Apparently we've been taking biscuits and gravy for granted this whole time? Plus, a deep dive into Oura Rings, sleep scores, and horse girl activities. And since he's already in the room, Matt officially grabs a mic to discuss his award-winning motorcycle and why he thinks a dirt-covered Harley belongs inside the house. Meanwhile, Wells falls down another documentary rabbit hole, discusses his Nicolas Cage obsession, and somehow turns the conversation to aliens. As one does.
